fully and judiciously if they wish to secure
justice through the strike system; the edi-
tor of this department has always advocated
and always believed that arbitration was
the best method for settlinglabor difficulties.
-Contractor Kelly, of Philadelphia, has

The two weeks pay bill passed by the
late Legislature was a measure specially
designed for the miners and aborers
throughout the entire coal regions and still
we understand that il is much condemned
in some sections by those whom it was sup
posed to benefit.
Labor is entitled to education, to the
right to organize for mutual protection, tC
an equal voice in fixing the wage rate, and
the settlement of other questions in which
it has vital interest, tOimpartlal arbitration

and its employer arise, and to such legisla
tion as will enable it to secure, if econom-
ical and frugal, a homestead which shall be
preserved to it inviolable.-Erchonge.
Regarding the present strike of the
miners the Hazleton Plain Speaker has the
following to say: While the present state
of affairs is TO be deplored by everyone II
must be conceded that the operators are to
blame more than anyone else, because they
have been not only autocratic, but tyrrani-
cal in their actions. What harm would
have come of it had they given their en-
ployes an audience? 1t might have saved
This trouble and anxiety, not only to the
workingmen, but to the business interests
of the region, that will suffer most. But
what care the operators so long as they can
rule as despots? When the trouble begins
they secrete themselves in their mansions
and scowl through the beautiful windows
at their slaves who stand outside with their
families crying for bread, but are given a
stone instead.
For years have the intelligent people of
this region been looking upon this picture
of despair, but they like the toilers have
been deaf, domb and blind until now. The
time has come, however, when silence
ceases to be viIture, and we believe that
if the strikers will stand united they may
be successful. Certainly they deserve to

In these days of nervous disease and ex. haustion, intense mental strain, oyer-work fast living and abuse of alcohol and tobacco. nervous disease of the heart is very common neuralgia spasms of the heart 4(indicated by pain in the chest, palpitation and a sense of fa1nting and sufocation), causing many sud den deaths. This was the cause of ex-Min- ister Washburne's sudden death.
 Women are even more liable to nervous disease of the heart than men, An exhaust ed brain or diseased nerves kill as quickly as apoplexy. Such cases are to be found in the newspapers every day.

FEEL YOUR PULSE.
Some Facts Worth Knowing,


 The pulse is the tongue of the heart Il is only through it that the heart can tell its story of health, strength, excitement, labored actions, weakness and the like. Every time that great vital pump, the heart, closes or contracts it drives blood into the arteries, and if it contracts but feebly the pulse tor pulsation) in the artery is feeble also; if it is strong or weak, regular or irregular, quick or slow, the pulse will show it.
 Every artery in the body is a pulse, but the most common and one of the best places to feel it is at the wrist. Lay your left hand on it's back and place two fingers of the right hand just about an inch from the outer edge of the exposed wrist and you will feel the "pulss" beating away regularly. A healthy persons pulse should be strong, full and beat about seventy times per minute Doctors commonly count the number of beats in if teen seconds and multiply the result by four, which gives the number per minute
 Every person should feel his pulse daily, for disease of the heart is becoming very common and it's early detection is thus made easy, and at the beginning cure is possible Points to be noted are these:
 1. The pulse beats should average seventy per minute.
 2. They should be regular, one following the other in regular rhythm, not three or four fast, pause and then one slow. This indicates very grave disease of the heart
 3. They should be strong and full and bounding, not weak, thready and easily made to disappear by pressure.

ON ICE.

Crossed the Connecticut River.
 Yesterdays Hartford Times says: The frat person probably in Connecticut to cross the river on the ice this winter is, as usual, Hor- ace Johnson of Middle Haddam and Hart ford. He crossed with his alpenstock in hand from Middle Haddam to Maromas this morn ing. Above that point the river is mostly open, az it is here in front of the city, and it is open below Middle Haddam. The ferries
 were running to-day at Rocky Hill at Port
 land, and (be1ow Middle Haddam) at Good speeds, and so on to the Sound. In the Straits also the running ice is hardly closed, or if closed is very thin. Mir. Johnson says but for the breaking up of the ice by the steamboats he would have been able to cross on the 26th, instead of waiting till the 30th He will break through and go under some time if he persists in being the first man tc cross every winter.

A NEW CAME
Invented by a New Haven Man Which
 is Exciting and Amusing.

' Invented by a New Haven Man Which is Exciting and Amusing. MT. Thomas R. Thompson superintendent of juvenile templars of this city, has just re- ceived patent on very amusing and inter-
 estiDg game which he has invented. It con- sists of small wooden box about one foot
 and half long by four feet high and three inches thick. The interior is filled with ma- chinery which runs the game. On the face
 of the box is painted a barnyard scene with
 a negro standing on barrel stealing apples.
 At the bottom of the box are six small holes,
 each numbered, the highest being ten.. In
 the top of the box is a small hole in one cor
 ner, through which marble is dropped. and this finds it's way through the machinery of the box and comes out of one of the holes. If, however, the marble comes out of the highest numbered hole it touches @ spring which causes the darkey to suddenly drop into the barrel, while bulldog appears from his kennel near by, and also Q farmer with a gun in his hand. The game is one solely of chance and is called counting game. Any figures can be placed in motion by con- cealed spring that the manufacturer may see fit to put on the box.
